Where Can You Stay?

Colonsay has many luxurious self catering holiday cottages, a boutique hotel and a backpacker's hostel. Most with amazing sea views and open fires they provide comfortable and homely accommodation from which to explore the sandy beaches, birds and wildlife of this stunning island.

Victorian farmhouse situated at the end of a mile-long rough track on the Eastern side of the Island. The only house with 180 degree sea views across to Jura. A very comfortable house for 2/3 families.

Traditional farmhouse recently renovated with oil fired central heating. Close to the hotel, down a short track - the shop and harbour are just a 10 min walk away. South facing, in an open sunny position, with extensive countryside views.

Our annual festival has a myriad of events including whisky, beer and wine tastings, foraging and cooking activities, food demonstrations, cookery classes, bread baking courses, as well as craft activities and guided walks and talks on local culture. Both weeks will feature activities for children.

Following the huge success of our Festival of Spring, we are delighted to announce that Colonsay is hosting its 6th Festival of Spring from 1st May to 21st May 2017. See the 2016 programme "www.colonsayevents.co.uk"

Now in its 5th year, the Colonsay Book Festival will be held on the weekend of 29 and 30th April 2017. It is the smallest and most remote literary festival in the UK but it attracts authors with huge reputations.
